I just buried my oldest kitty. Even though I’m an atheist, I wrapped her in white linen and tucked a few toys in with her. One can always indulge in thinking that there is a less than omnipotent goddess Sekhmet looking after my furry companions. What could be better, cats and drinking beer with a … Continue reading we make an agreement with sorrow

What the Boss Likes – a symbol for being kind
Legend, and reality appears to agree, says during the Great Depression, itinerant workers e.g. hoboes, would let each other know about the conditions of the road and towns that they passed through by using a language of signs. If there was a chance of work, dangerous dogs, vigilant police, that could all be read in … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – a symbol for being kind
What the Boss Likes – we got really cool upholstered chairs!
As the title says, we got really cool upholstered chairs. Some background on this, my husband's parents once did upholstery. And when my mother in law was dying from colon cancer, she asked what we would like. We got a pair of decrepit chairs that my husband loved because they were so comfortable, and a … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – we got really cool upholstered chairs!
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the passing of another pet

This time, it is our dear … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the passing of another pet
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Euthanasia, atheists in “foxholes” and my cat
(if it is too much to read about another person’s grief for the reader, I would suggest you skip this post.) Today I had to have my one cat euthanized, a polite word for having to have my cat killed because it was the best decision of a lot of bad ones. I’ve read that … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Euthanasia, atheists in “foxholes” and my cat
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – How silly the Qu’ran is and a bonus photo of my cat
It seems like Mr. Rogers isn't coming back, though I do hope that isn't the case. This is unsuprising. The usual scenario is that the TrueChristiantm will convince himself that I didn't "really" want to discuss Christianity and he'll tell himself that I wasn't honest. That's a real two-fer in lying. First a cute … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – How silly the Qu’ran is and a bonus photo of my cat
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Pat Robertson’s excuses on why he got it wrong
Unsuprisingly, Pat Robertson is now creating excuses for why he lied about his god telling him who was going to win the presidential election. Poor Pat, I knew this would happen. "So many of us miss God. I won't get into great detail about elections but I sure did miss it. I thought I … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Pat Robertson’s excuses on why he got it wrong
What the Boss Likes – Cats part 3
Finally got a photo of the last of our cats, Mystra. She is a sweetheart and soft like a bunny. But she has no desire to be a lap cat at all.
What the Boss Likes – the cats, part 2
Finally got two more pictures of our cats. Muffin, the cranky one: and Mordred, my scrawny little thing:
